Dynasty: Your best and worst trade of 2013. (1 Viewer)

[Concept Coop]

Worst:

QRRWWWTF 12 Tm 1.0 PPR

Got: Brady

Gave: Peyton, 1st (4th)

During startup, prior to Hernadez/Gronk/Welker issues. Cost me a playoff spot and potentially more. Draft pick ended up being the 1.04, thanks to Brady/Gronk and a couple other bad breaks.

Best: (Going with two; same league; won league)

QRRWWWTF 12 Tm 1.0 PPR

Got: McCoy/Brown

Gave: Richardson/L.Miller /D.Thomas

Trade took place week 4, after Indy trade, but before the wheels came off the bandwagon.

Got: B. Marshall

Gave: Shorts III, Thompkins, 2nd (12th)

Took place while Thompkins was starting.

 

[BuckeyeChaos]

worst:

gave R Quinn and got J Allen in IDP league with contract dollars and years

best:

gave S Bradford and got 1st in 2015

on the fence:

gave Reuben Randle, Bryce Brown, Mike Wallace, Dennis Pitta

got Alshon Jeffrey, Hakeem Nicks, T Gonzalez ( I was in win now mode last year)

 

[opensourcebeer]

Worst: week 1 2013

Gave: Jordan Cameron, Michael Floyd

Got: Lamar Miller, Kenny Stills

At the time, I was dying for a starting RB and Cameron felt like an obvious sell high. I wasn't (and still am not) high on Floyd. And I'm still unreasonably high on Stills.

Best: Last off season

Gave: Miles Austin, E.Sanders

Got: Josh Gordon

In hindsight, a homerun. At the time, a definite risk.

 

[Evil G]

on the fence:

gave Reuben Randle, Bryce Brown, Mike Wallace, Dennis Pitta

got Alshon Jeffrey, Hakeem Nicks, T Gonzalez ( I was in win now mode last year)

I think it depends on how your roster looks on the whole. I like Jeffrey - stud in the making.

The counter-value is Wallace (who had 142 targets and seriously underachieved on them), Pitta (bouncing back) and whether Bryce gets a shot, ever.

Combined, these guys could outshine Alshon, sure, on a balanced roster where they all start or eventually start. But I doubt it.

 

[Andrew74]

12 Team, 0.5 PPR, start 1/2/3/1

In March:

I got: Ryan, Matt ATL QB; Year 2013 Draft Pick 1.04; Year 2014 Round 2 Draft Pick (ended 2.05)

I gave up: Jackson, Steven ATL RB;Rodgers, Jacquizz ATL RB; Year 2014 Round 1 Draft Pick (ended 1.12)

This one was close, two weeks later:

I gave: Russell Wilson, 2.07

I got: 1.01, 2.01

Then I completely botched it all in May:

I gave: 1.01, 1.04, 2.01

I got: David Wilson, 1.06, 2.06

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Best, gave david wilson got demaryious thomas.

Biggest rape

Biggest got raped

Knowshon Moreno for 2014 4th (4.10)

Best:

Gave Delanie Walker & 2.3 (latavius Murray) for Julius Thomas & 3.5 (Justin hunter)

This trade was done before first preseason game

 

[r0llin_game]

Best:

Gave: Chris Ivory, Cecil Shorts, Dwayne Allen, 2014 3rd (3.12)

Received: Jacquizz Rodgers, Josh Gordon, Rod Streater, Dennis Pitta

Worst:

Gave: Julio Jones

Received: Victor Cruz, 2014 (1.06)

 

[Donsmith753]

Best:

Gave Greg Jennings and My 2nd

Got His 1st

Pick ended up being the 1.01

Worst

Gave Jamaal Charles and Seahawks D

Got David Wilson, Justin Blackmon and a 4th

 

[bostonfred]

Worst:

Gave: Julio Jones

Received: Victor Cruz, 2014 (1.06)

I would still do that trade today. Cruz had a bad year, but he's still a stud WR. Julio had a screw inserted in his foot for an injury a couple years ago. His injury this year? It broke. Think about that for a minute. He's putting so much torque on his foot by running at high speed and making cuts that he broke the screw in his foot. I'm not a doctor, but that seems like a red flag to me, both in terms of reinjury risk, and him being afraid to play hard with that foot for a while.I'd still take Jones ahead of Cruz, but 1.6 in this year's draft should be a quality prospect. It's a decent deal for you.

 

[BWill]

To name a few in my 20 team league.


Andy Dalton for Peyton Manning

Bradshaw for Moreno

Lance Dunbar, Phillip Tanner for a 5th rounder (probably 80-100+ overall in a rookie draft)

 

[r0llin_game]

Worst:

Gave: Julio Jones

Received: Victor Cruz, 2014 (1.06)

It's a decent deal for you.

True. Felt like this was the worst with how Cruz finished the season since I was hoping for low WR1/high WR2 and I ran into the highest scoring team in the WC. Did get lucky with that pick turning into 1.06 and that team missing the playoffs. Not getting to the semis made the trade feel like a failure since I would still rather have Julio than Cruz/1.06. Couldn't find many bad deals that I completed.

If I had to pick any other trades, the only other one I think I could say was bad but I still feel fine about since I'm a bigger Michael Floyd fan than a Tavon Austin fan would be a team I acquired last offseason that had five 2013 1st along with an additional 2014 first to go along with mine, which I made some trades during the draft and acquired two more 2014 1st

Gave: Geno Smith, Daniel Thomas, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, 2 1st (1.05/1.10), 2.05, 3.05

Received: Jake Locker, Darren Sproles, Michael Floyd, Rob Gronkowski

Still think it's fine, and trading for Gronk while he was still out before he came back before he blew out his knee seemed like a great idea. Felt it was a luxury grabbing Gronk for what looked like could have been a later pick than 1.05, and being able to start him and Jimmy every week. With that said, core is pretty damn solid along with picking up Dennis Pitta off of waivers (no IR) and I still managed to turn up 1.03/1.04 with those other two picks.

 

[LongDuckDong]

2 worst:

Traded Russell Wilson for Aaron Hernandez before he murdered those folks. Went from clean win to clean loss.

Traded Steven Jackson and 1.5 (Lacy) for Justin Blackmon and 2.9 (Q Patton) Again looked like a decent deal till he couldn't keep clean.

My trading license should be revoked.

[LongDuckDong]

This is true.

 

[JFS171]

16-team, .5 PPR, QB/WR/WR/RB/RB/TE/FL/FL

WORST (Early August -- before any preseason games)

Gave - Phillip Rivers, Victor Cruz, Torrey Smith, Chris Ivory, Daryl Richardson

Received - Trent Richardson, couple of drops/filler

I might win for worst deal, though in fairness, the process was sound. At the time the deal was made, I posted in the in-season dynasty trade thread and most had no problem with it -- I knowingly "overpaid" with depth for a guy that many had as a top-3 dynasty asset. In retrospect, it looks absolutely terrible. Rivers was coming off a terrible season, his second in a row (plus I had Manning at QB and wasn't worried about finding a backup). Cruz and Smith hurt, though I would have gladly paid them for a top RB in a 16-teamer, and my squad was deep at WR. Ivory and Richardson were guys I got off the wire during the 2012 season, and I felt reasonably sure I could replace them via the draft/wire (which I did).

Hopefully offseason hype allows me another selling window, or (miracles happen, right?) he starts performing next year...

BEST -- same league, preseason deal

Gave -- Lamar Miller, Pick 2.3 (19th overall), Houston Texans D

Received - Demaryius Thomas, Carolina Panthers D, LaMichael James (who I later dealt for 2014 3.1)

 

[Bamac]

Worst:

I have to include two deals. This is how I turned the best TE group in the league (Gronk, Hernandez, Cameron) into a pile of garbage.

April: Gave Jordan Cameron + 2014 1st (ended up 1.12) for 2014 1st (ended up 1.07)

May: Gave Gronkowski for Ray Rice because (1) I was worried about Gronk's arm and (2) I still had Hernandez

June: Mother****er!

Best:

Another pair of related deals (both trades in August after startup):

Gave Darren Sproles, got 2014 1st (1.04) + 2014 2nd (2.11)

Gave Ryan Broyles + 2014 3d, got 2014 1st (1.02)

 

[One More Rep]

In May

Gave Jordy

Got Lamar Miller/ Chris Givens

In August

Gave David Wilson/Dwayne Bowe

Got Jimmy Graham

 

[Shutout]

Best:

Gave Greg Jennings and My 2nd

Got His 1st

Pick ended up being the 1.01

Worst

Gave Jamaal Charles and Seahawks D

Got David Wilson, Justin Blackmon and a 4th

Whew. That one probably set you back to the dark ages.

 

[jwb]

Best

14 team PPR - Had a good team that looked like it could go deep in the playoffs if I could just get some RB2 production.

Gave: Blackmon (post suspension)

Got: CJ2K

Gave up nothing for this year (and have plenty of wr's), got my RB2, and won the title. CJ didn't carry me or anything, but did get me double digit points every week. Totally worth it.

Worst

Gave: Moreno

Got: Geno Smith

This was after week three or four... when Geno had a big game against the Bills and looked like the no-brainer future... and Moreno started the year with two out of three games being garbage (and Ball coming on). This trade cost me a playoff spot in this league.

 

[Baeddel Moon]

In August (16 team PPR)

Give: Zach Sudfeld

Recieve: Julius Thomas

Give: Steven Ridley, Eric Decker, Dennis Pitta

Recieve: Julio Jones

Give: Frank Gore (during startup)

Received: Bernard Pierce, Zac Stacy

Worst:

Give: Julius Thomas

Recieve 1.6, 2015 2nd, Garrett Graham

 

[bostonfred]

It looks like I'm lower on Julio Jones than most of you. I'm legitimately down on him and looking to move him in the only league where I have him.

 

[John 14:6]

Best:

At the draft I traded McFadden and Wayne for Demarco Murray. Ended up winning the championship because of it.

Worst:

Traded Crabtree and next years fourth for Riley Cooper at the trade deadline. Cooper was hot at the time but faded from that point on...

 

[Chimp Magnet]

Best: Got Peyton Manning for Matt Ryan

Worst: Sent Josh Gordon for 2013 1.05 rookie pick

 

[msudaisy26]

Best

Happened the Friday before opening weekend

I send Lamar Miller and my second round pick in 2014

I received Antonio Brown, Geno Smith, and a 2014 first which was another teams pick and looked to be top 6 and a 2014 3rd from the trading team.

Worst

About 2 weeks later I ship Brown, before he blew up against the Vikings and Leveon Bell, I was scared he had Lis Franc

I receive Randall Cobb

Too make matters worse I had this teams first round pick from the previous trade and then he makes a nice run to the title game turning that 1st into 1.11 and I miss the playoffs by a game. Just because I love kick myself while I am down I went back to see what would have happened if I don't make that trade. I win 2 more games and get the 3rd seed in the playoffs and make a run to the title game but get murdered in the title game. While the team I sent Brown to barely misses the playoffs and would have won the toilet bowl giving me pick 1.1 It still hurts

 

[Donsmith753]

Best:

Gave Greg Jennings and My 2nd

Got His 1st

Pick ended up being the 1.01

Worst

Gave Jamaal Charles and Seahawks D

Got David Wilson, Justin Blackmon and a 4th

Whew. That one probably set you back to the dark ages.

Championship game last year to having he 1.06 this year, not my best. I was fine at WR but starter BJGE every week this year...

 

[Kree]

Apparently the I thought was a contender was actually ####e....

All in same league with 2 starting qbs

Best - traded roeth and rice for Russell Wilson

Worst - traded Djaz and Mendy for 1.06

Traded 1.06 and ivory for David Wilson

Traded future first for Ben Tate (ended up with 1.03)

To be fair my team didn't look nearly that bad with kaep/roeth/Richardson/rice/Wilson/Calvin/nicks and good pieces in the preseason

 

[solorca]

Best - Gave Emmanuel Sanders for Knowshon Moreno and Joique Bell (this was in mid-August, I believe)

Best (Honorable Mention) - Gave Aaron Hernandez (two days before his news broke) for 1.02 (Tavon) and Dennis Pitta. Tavon hasn't been great so far, but the deal was still a huge win for me.

Worst - Traded my 2014 1st (ended up being 1.06) for TY Hilton, then traded Hilton for Mark Ingram and Leonard Hankerson. Ugh.

 

[domvin]

Worst...traded gordon and the 1.12 for giovanni and a 2nd. Was a draft day deal, gio dropped to the 1.6, and I felt I could do so after gordon had just gotten in trouble. Crabtree, calvin, marshall, aj green inmy stead at wr. Still won the title again but looking back I kick myself

Best...maybe acquiring pierre garcon for vincent brown and emmanuel sanders?

Didnt do a ton of trades this year....

 

[one time]

Best:

March 2013: Kaepernick for Josh Gordon and a 2014 1st (turned out to be 1.3-bad luck since he had 4th most points this year and only 3 points behind 3rd most)

Close:

July: Matt Ryan for Cam Newton.

Worst:

Traded 1.11 on the clock (Christine Michael) and a 2014 3rd rounder for a 2014 1st rounder (turned out to be 1.12) and 2014 2.8

Thought the guy was a borderline playoff team and my gamble went bad.

If that's your worst trade, then that's not bad at all.

I hope you apologized for the Gordon trade.

If that's your worst trade, then that's not bad at all.

How can a trade that isnt even bad be listed as your worst?? lol

 

[ghostguy123]

Best- any trade involving Hernandez, Wilson, or Richardson

Worst- any trade involving Hernandez, Wilson, or Richardson

 

[starks]

Best -

1. Traded away Vjax for Cobb (to a contender while Cobb was injured and Vjax studding)

2. Traded away J. Bell to Bush owner for what turned out to be a high first round pick

Worst-

Traded away Ryan Mathews for 2nd rounder (Have Woodhead and Mathews was sucking)

Meh-

Traded away Martin for T-Rich and I get a first round pick

Traded away Witten and 3rd for high first round pick (have Ertz and Eifert)

3 out of first 5 picks and good foundation....God I can't wait until the NFL draft.

 

[panhead55]

Traded C J Spiller, VJax, and my 2014 1st

for

Doug Martin, Pierre Garcon, and his 2013 1.10

With the 2013 1.10 I selected Keenan Allen. Thanks to Garcon and Allen I took first in my 16 team dynasty. My traded 2014 pick becomes 1.16. I look forward to the return of Martin.

Give me Martin, Garcon, and Allen over Spiller, VJax, and pick 1.16 all day and twice on Super Bowl Sunday. I got better AND younger.

 

[drew1976]

BEST:

Traded Eric Decker (2 yr contract) and Matt Schaub (2 yr contract)

for

Josh Gordon (3 yr contract) and 2.04

Took Keenan Allen with the 2.04.

In the same league, traded away the franchise rights to Adrian Peterson for the franchise rights of Jamaal Charles.

Without either of those two moves, I wouldn't have won the title.

WORST:

Luck for Cobb and Mike Wallace. This is a true dynasty, so overpaid a little for Luck but should be my QB for 10 yrs.

Jordan Reed and Ben Tate for Tyler Eifert. This was before Reed really blew up and before Foster got hurt. Was expecting a lot more from Eifert.

 

[zilladog]

Dynasty IDP salary cap league: standard scoring

Best:

I was out of it and he was making a run at the trade deadline

worst:

[Lott's Fingertip]

10 team 1/2 ppr for WR/TE only

Worst: gave Josh Gordon, Vereen, C.Givens for D.Wilson, Andre Brown

Best: gave L.Miller, T.Richardson for J.Charles

 

[Ruffrodys05]

Best trade: reacquired Peyton Manning (owned '04 thru '11) Sat. March 2, 2013.....gave up Percy Harvin & 2013 2nd.

Worst trade: acquired Larry Fitzgerald Sat. March 2, 2013......gave up 2014 1st & 2015 1st.

 

[Terpman22]

I don't have a trade that I feel was my best trade, lot of even deals. But this one, by far, was one of the worst trades I have ever made.


May: Gave Ridley/Vereen/Bowe/1.10/2.10 for Trent Richardson.

 

[bostonfred]

Best trade: reacquired Peyton Manning (owned '04 thru '11) Sat. March 2, 2013.....gave up Percy Harvin & 2013 2nd.

Worst trade: acquired Larry Fitzgerald Sat. March 2, 2013......gave up 2014 1st & 2015 1st.

Both of those trades seem pretty even to me right now. If I owned Fitz, I wouldn't trade him for a late first, and it sounds like you would have a strong contending team with Manning and Fitz, so I wouldn't do it for a first and a second, either. But two future firsts is about even - especially with one pushed out a year and a half. I'd make that trade if I were you (even knowing that he'd be under 1000 yards but get double digit TDs) and I'd make that trade if I were him (even knowing that your two firsts were going to be late).As for Manning - he was dominant this year and probably will be dominant again next year, but Harvin could be a stud for a lot of years. The second is just a sweetener that he got out of you because he knew you'd give it up. If Manning only plays one more year after this one, then Harvin doesn't need to do much for you to have overpaid. But if Manning's got a couple more years left in him, it was worth it to get several years of high end production for more years of very good starting production. Again, this is a good trade for both sides.

Hey Fred, thanks for the comments. I listed these two trades because I didn't make a lot of trades throughout the season and these were made at the end of last season. The OP asked for best and worst, and these were it.

My team was such a strong contender (accounting for my other keepers) that these trades vaulted me to the title this past year after finishing 11th of 12 in 2012.

I thought they were both pretty even trades when I made them almost a year ago. The Manning trade was a no-brainer to me. I didn't go after him as I had just traded him the previous year to a new owner in our league, but for some reason that owner offered him back to me and all he asked for was the 2nd and Harvin. I jumped on it, even though I already had Cam Newton. Personally, I think Manning has more than a couple great years left in him, barring injury of course. I do not think Harvin is long for the NFL.

The Fitz trade was one I initiated, but I had no early picks in 2013 to offer after I unloaded the 2nd in the Manning deal. I was actually surprised I was able to get him for two future 1st round picks. Yes, Fitz also helped pave the way for my title run this past year and hopefully he will help lead me to another next year.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Only play in 1 dynasty league. The scoring is definitely non-standard. Here are the details:

10 team, 27 man roster [PPR, +1 Comp Pass/-1 Incomp Pass, 6 pts all TDs, 0.1 pts all Yds (including pass and return), Distance TD and Yardage Milestone Bonuses]

Start: 2 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 TE, 3 Flex, 1 K

Best:

Gave: Colston, L. Moore

Got: J. Gordon, D. Murray

Happened during the offseason. Other owner is a contender who was spooked by Gordon's suspension and Murray's injury concerns, with plenty of talent ahead of both on the depth chart. He saw Colston and Moore as upgrades to his last Flex slot and functional depth. Lucky me. Ended up beating him in the final for the second straight year.

Worst:

Gave: Kaepernick

Got: Hoyer, J. Bell, 2014 1st (ended up 1.05)

Thought was that with Brees and Romo (#8 in QB scoring in this league even with the missed game) for the next few years, I could trade Kaepernick after the byes to solidify my lineup and then draft a young replacement QB in 2014. I had just traded for R. Bush, so Bell was a nice add (and necessary, given that my other RBs were D. Murray, L. Miller, Michael, B. Brown, L. Murray, and Bradshaw). Hoyer seemed like a decent stopgap option for bye coverage in 2014, should my rookie QB need some development time. The 1st was on pace to be top 3 at the time, but the other team went on a tear after the trade.

It's important to note that Kaepernick's upside in our leage relative to most is severely hamstrung by the QB scoring rules (all yards equal, all TDs equal, rewards for passing accuracy/volume built into scoring), but I'm still not happy with this deal in hindsight. The return just was just too speculative, both in its quality and its utility. I sold low.

 

[Spin]

Best:

Gave: Forte (Last year of Contract) 1.6 (Bell)

Got: Jamaal Charles (4 year contract)

So gave up a year of Forte and Bell for Charles for 4 years. Plus I might be able to snag Forte back again this offseason.

Worst:

Gave: Wes Welker (2 years) and Witten (2 years)

Got: Aaron Hernandez (5 years)

Traded away Welker and Witten to gain penalties due to cutting Hernandez. Awesome.

 

[menobrown]

I still have hope this can work itself out long term but right now this looks terrible:

Gave: Lynch, Turbin and 2014 #2 (which turned out to be 2.3)

Got: David Wilson

That trade took place last spring.

Honorable mention worst trade:

Gave Peyton Manning for 2014#1 and Andy Dalton. (trade took place in early August I believe but for sure before the season)

This trade was from FFPC startup league this past season where I had just taken Peyton at 9.3. So thought it was great value but got offered Dalton and a 2014#1. The pick did not belong to the team who made the offer but to a team whose first pick in the startup draft was Aaron Hernandez. That team whose pick I would be getting had also gathered 6 2014#'s but had traded away their #1 which was the one being offered to me. So losing Hernandez and owning 6 #1's it appeared to be a team focusing on the future. So I took the trade. Team whose pick I now owned ended up going all in for this year and trading away all of those draft picks. One of the players they picked up was none other than Peyton. This team made the playoffs and I ended up knocking me out of the playoffs by about 5 points on a week I think PM put up around 36 points so strong chance if he did not have PM the results would have been different. His team went on to win first place. I cut Dalton earlier in the year-which I don't really regret. End total I gave up Peyton for pick 1.12 and it also cost me in the playoffs. Great story, right?

Best trade:

Gave Stafford and got Antonio Brown, Greg Olsen and Alex Smith in minimum 3 WR PPR league with 1.25 PPR for TE's. No matter what happens in the future that trade was difference between not making playoffs and winning the league.

 

[Jrodicus]

Worst:

Graham, 4th for David Wilson, 3rd

Best:

Olsen, 3.12 for 2.04, 2014 1st (became 1.01)

Peyton, 4th for Stacy, Justin Hunter, 1st (became 1.12) - was the week before Stacy blew up...was actually a win for both of us, but pretty happy with the potential long-term results.

Best: Gave Ray Rice; received Ben Tate

Worst: Gave Ivory, Fleener, second round pick (turned out to be 1.4); received Deangelo, Miles Austin, Mark Ingram (dropped after he totally sucked...so I never enjoyed the pendulum upswing.).
